BACKGROUND

Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the number of digital videos available on electronic devices and the Internet. In particular, an increasing number of digital videos are made available to individuals and businesses. For instance, the ease of capturing high quality videos on mobile devices, such as smart phones, has led to individual and user capturing and storing large quantities of videos. Furthermore, users may desire to find a particular video or portions of a particular video. For example, a user may desire to find a video of particular object or action. Although conventional digital visual systems enable users to capture, view, modify, describe, and upload digital visual media, they also have a number of significant shortcomings, particularly in regard to searching for or otherwise retrieving videos.

SUMMARY

This disclosure describes one or more embodiments that provide benefits with systems, computer-readable media, and methods that accurately generate tags for digital videos. In particular, the disclosed systems can automatically generate tags for digital videos to indicate objects, scenes, attributes, and actions within the videos. For example, the disclosed systems intelligently identify actions being performed in videos and associated tags for the actions with the videos rather than just static attributes. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can tag entire videos or temporal portions of videos. In this manner, the disclosed systems can allow efficient and accurate searching and retrieving of desired videos or desired portions of videos.

For example, in order to automatically tag a video, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems can extract a set of frames from the video. The disclosed systems then can generate feature vectors for the set of frames utilizing a neural network. The disclosed systems can then select one or more tagged feature vectors from a set of tagged feature vectors based on distances between the feature vectors and the one or more tagged feature vectors. The disclosed systems can also generate a set of tags to associate with the video by aggregating one or more tags corresponding to the one or more tagged feature vectors.

Additional features and advantages of one or more embodiments of the present disclosure will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by the practice of such example embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

One or more embodiments of the present disclosure include a digital video tagging system that can use machine learning to automatically identify actions, objects, scenes, and/or other attributes in digital media (e.g., digital videos or images) and tag the digital media based on the identified attributes. In other words, the digital video tagging system can automatically tag digital videos. By automatically tagging digital videos, the digital video tagging system can enable search and retrieval of relevant videos in large collections or identification of portions of a digital video having particular attributes.

In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system can identify a set of action-rich digital videos and generate a set of tagged feature vectors from the set of action-rich digital media. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system can generate a set of tagged feature vectors from digital media content items, such as digital videos and/or digital images. For example, the digital video tagging system can identify digital videos that portray one or more actions (e.g., action-rich digital videos) to generate the tagged feature vectors. Then, the digital video tagging system can, utilizing a neural network, generate feature vectors for the action-rich digital videos. Upon generating the feature vectors for the action-rich digital videos, the digital video tagging system can utilize metadata (e.g., indications of attributes) associated with the action-rich digital videos to tag the generated feature vectors to generate the tagged feature vectors. The digital video tagging system can utilize the tagged feature vectors to automatically generate tags for untagged digital videos or retrieve a digital video or image in response to a tag-based query.

For example, in order to automatically tag a video, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system can extract frames from a digital video. The digital video tagging system can utilize a neural network to generate feature vectors from the set of frames. The digital video tagging system can also optionally combine the generated feature vectors to generate an aggregated feature vector for the digital video or segments of the digital video. Upon generating the feature vectors (or aggregated feature vector(s)), the digital video tagging system can identify one or more tagged feature vectors that are similar to the feature vectors (or aggregated feature vector). Then, the digital video tagging system can generate a set of tags to associate with the digital video by aggregating one or more tags corresponding to the selected tagged feature vectors.

Unlike many conventional systems, by utilizing action-rich digital videos to generate the tagged feature vectors, the digital video tagging system can allow for identification of digital media (e.g., digital images or videos) including actions rather than just objects and scenes. In other words, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system allows for more robust searching of digital videos.

Additionally, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system can generate aggregated feature vectors. For example, the digital video tagging system can combine feature vectors for a set of frames utilizing techniques such as max pooling. In some embodiments, the digital video tagging system generates multiple aggregated feature vectors from groupings of feature vectors generated for a digital video. The groupings of feature vectors can correspond to video frames in segments of videos. The digital video tagging system can then identify tags for the segments based on the aggregated feature vectors. By tagging segments of videos, the digital video tagging system can enable the digital video to be searchable based on the set of tags and/or can enable the digital video to display and/or indicate specific tags at specific segments of the digital video.

Still further, the digital video tagging system can associate tags with temporal segments of videos. In particular, as mentioned above, the digital video tagging system can generate aggregated feature vectors corresponding to groups of frames. The groups of frames can be grouped chronologically. Thus, each aggregated feature vector can represent a temporal segment of a video. The digital video tagging system can then associate tags generated from each aggregated feature vector with the associated temporal segment of the video. One will appreciate in light of the disclosure herein the temporal tagging of videos can allow a user to find a portion of a video having a desired characteristic without having to video the entire video. For example, in a video of a dog, a user can search for the term “jumping,” in response, the digital video tagging system can identify and surface one or more temporal segments of the video in associated with the tag “jumping” without requiring the user to view other portions of the video searching for the segment(s) in which the dog is jumping.

As mentioned above, conventional tagging systems have a number of shortcomings. For instance, conventional tagging systems oftentimes cannot easily, accurately, and/or efficiently generate tags for digital videos based on objects, scenes, actions, and/or attributes portrayed in the digital videos. Indeed, some conventional tagging systems can generate tags for digital images, however fail to easily, accurately, and/or efficiently generate tags for digital videos. For instance, conventional tagging systems oftentimes are configured to determine tags from a single still instance portrayed in a digital image. However, such conventional tagging systems oftentimes cannot identify and generate tags for actions portrayed in digital videos because such conventional tagging systems are configured to determine tags from the single instance. As a result, conventional tagging systems often fail to easily, accurately, and/or efficiently generate tags for digital videos because digital videos may portray a variety of objects, scenes, actions, and/or attributes across a number of frames.

Indeed, generating such tags may provide a more accurate description of content within digital videos. However, as conventional tagging systems oftentimes collect thousands or millions of digital videos without generating accurate tags for the digital videos, the collection of digital videos may be too difficult to manage and/or search. For example, some conventional tagging systems can fail to enable users to accurately search through and/or organize large collections of digital videos because they are incapable of easily, accurately, and/or efficiently generating tags for digital videos. Additionally, some conventional tagging systems also fail to enable computer systems to utilize accurately generated tags for digital videos to gain functionality such as the capability to understand content within the digital videos. Furthermore, using conventional system it can be difficult and time intensive to find a desired portion of a video. In summary, conventional tagging systems are often inflexible, inaccurate, and inefficient.

The digital video tagging system of one implementations of the present disclosure provides advantages and benefits over conventional systems and methods by generating tags for digital videos by utilizing the feature vectors (or aggregated feature vectors) from the set of frames of the digital videos. For example, by generating accurate tags that describe actions, objects, scenes, and/or attributes portrayed within the content of digital videos, the digital video tagging system can enable increased flexibility, efficiency, and accuracy in searching within and/or organizing large collections of digital videos. Indeed, by associating accurate tags to digital videos (and/or with segments of digital videos), the digital video tagging system can provide digital videos with tags that describe more aspects of the content portrayed in the digital videos compared to some user provided descriptions for digital videos. Furthermore, the digital video tagging system can enable users to search for digital videos from large collections of digital videos with more specificity and/or to organize digital videos in more efficient categories (based on the tags).

Additionally, by utilizing action-rich videos for generating the tagged feature vectors and/or by generating an aggregated feature vector from the set of frames of a digital video, the digital video tagging system can accurately identify actions portrayed in digital videos and generate tags for those actions. Indeed, by enabling the tagging of digital videos with such action based tags, the digital video tagging system can enable searching and/or organizing digital videos based on actions portrayed in the digital videos. As mentioned above, some conventional digital visual media tagging systems, in contrast, fail to accurately identify and tag actions portrayed in digital videos because individual frames may not fully portray an action.

As a further benefit, the digital video tagging system can also enable computer systems to understand content of digital videos and, as a result, provide more robust functionalities for digital videos. For instance, by generating accurate tags that describe a variety of characteristics portrayed within the digital videos (e.g., actions, objects, scenes, and/or attributes), the digital video tagging system can enable computer systems to identify content portrayed within digital videos (e.g., identifying what is occurring within the digital videos) and provide functionalities based on the identified content. For instance, the digital video tagging system can enable computer systems to provide specific tags at specific segments of digital videos, and thus, search for segments of videos portraying desired actions.

More specifically, FIG. 3 illustrates an overview of a sequence of acts that the digital video tagging system 106 can perform in relation to a digital video such as generating feature vectors, generating tags, assigning tags, and/or utilizing the tags assigned to the digital video to enable functionalities for the digital video.

For instance, as shown in FIG. 3, the digital video tagging system 106 can perform an act 302 of generating feature vectors from a digital video. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract one or more frames from a digital video. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a neural network to generate a set of feature vectors for the extracted frames. In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 combines the set of feature vectors by utilizing a variety of methods to generate one or more aggregated feature vectors prior to generating tags for the digital video from the one or more aggregated feature vectors. Indeed, implementations of the digital video tagging system 106 generating feature vectors from a digital video are described in greater detail in FIGS. 5-8.

Furthermore, FIG. 3 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 performing an act 304 of analyzing the feature vectors from the digital video to identify similar tagged feature vectors. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the one or more generated feature vectors (or aggregated feature vectors) from act 302 to identify similar tagged feature vectors from a set of tagged feature vectors. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a variety of methods (as described in greater detail in FIGS. 5-8) to compare the one or more generated feature vectors to the set of tagged feature vectors to identify tagged feature vectors that are similar to the one or more generated feature vectors from the digital video. Implementations of the digital video tagging system 106 generating tagged feature vectors are described in greater detail in FIG. 4.

Additionally, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the digital video tagging system 106 can perform an act 306 of assigning tags to the digital video. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the identified tagged feature vectors from act 304 to generate a set of tags for a digital video. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can aggregate the tags corresponding to the identified tagged feature vectors and assign these tags to the digital video. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can assign tags to segments (e.g., frames or sets of frames) of the digital video. Indeed, implementations of the digital video tagging system 106 generating a set of tags for a digital video and assigning tags to the digital video are described in greater detail in FIGS. 5-8.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the digital video tagging system 106 can perform an act 308 of utilizing the digital video with the assigned tags. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the tags assigned to a digital video to enable searching capabilities for the digital video based on the assigned tags, organize the digital video within a collection of digital videos, and/or display tags that are relevant to frames of a digital video while a computing device displays the digital video. Implementations of the digital video tagging system 106 utilizing a digital video with assigned tags are described in greater detail in FIGS. 9 and 10.

As mentioned above, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify digital videos to generate tagged feature vectors. For instance, FIG. 4 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 generating tagged feature vectors. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate tagged feature vectors from digital videos (e.g., training digital videos) that include metadata corresponding to descriptions of the digital video (e.g., a title, labeled keywords, a description of the content portrayed in the video). For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can receive a plurality of digital videos, identify digital videos from the received digital videos that portray actions (e.g., action-rich videos), generate tagged feature vectors from those digital videos, and store the tagged feature vectors in a tagged feature vector storage 108. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the tagged feature vectors while (automatically) generating tags for input digital videos (e.g., untagged digital videos).

In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can receive (or utilize) digital videos from a variety of digital video collections to utilize in generating tagged feature vectors. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a collection of digital videos such as digital videos from ADOBE® STOCK®. In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize digital videos that are uploaded to one or more online services (e.g., video sharing websites) and/or other training digital video repositories (e.g., publicly available data such as data including publicly available videos which include action based tags). Moreover, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize any number of digital videos to generate the tagged feature vectors.

More specifically, the digital video tagging system 106 can receive (or utilize) digital videos that include information corresponding to the content of the digital videos to generate the tagged feature vectors. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize digital videos that include metadata that corresponds to a description of the content of the digital videos. For instance, in one or more embodiment, the digital video tagging system utilizes digital videos that include metadata such as keyword tags (or labels), text descriptions of the content of the digital videos, and/or titles. Indeed, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can receive digital videos that include the above-mentioned metadata, labelled by one or more persons.

As an example, FIG. 4 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 utilizing a collection of digital videos that include metadata information. For instance, as shown in FIG. 4, the digital videos 402 include a plurality of digital videos with corresponding metadata. Indeed, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the digital videos 402 include digital videos titled “Bicycling in Summer,” “Skyscrapers,” and “Pitching with your right hand.” Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a first digital video from the digital videos 402 includes metadata such as the keywords “bicycling,” “man,” “wheels,” “outdoor,” “riding” and the description “Bob bicycling outdoors in July.” Additionally, FIG. 4 also illustrates that a second digital video from the digital videos 402 includes metadata such as the keywords “architecture” and “tower.” Moreover, FIG. 4 also illustrates that a third digital video from the digital videos 402 includes metadata such as the keywords “baseball,” “throwing,” “pitching,” “man” and the description “Travis pitching a fast ball with his right hand.” Although FIG. 4 illustrates a limited number of videos in digital videos 402, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a set of any number of digital videos.

Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify digital videos that portray one or more actions (e.g., action-rich digital videos) to generate tagged feature vectors from action-rich digital videos. Indeed, action-rich digital videos may include digital videos that are determined, by the digital video tagging system 106, to have a high probability of including portrayals of one or more actions. Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize action-rich digital videos to generate tagged feature vectors that more accurately represent one or more action tags (e.g., tags representing an action). Specifically, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify digital videos, from a set of digital videos (e.g., digital videos 402), that portray one or more actions based on metadata associated with the set of digital videos.

For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a variety of methods for identifying action-rich digital videos based on the metadata associated with the set of digital videos. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 identifies words ending with gerunds from the metadata associated with the set of digital videos and utilizes the digital videos which include those words. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 analyzes the metadata associated with the set of digital videos and identifies the digital videos that include one or more words that include gerunds and/or words that are verbs in the metadata (e.g., words ending in “-ing”). For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify a digital video as an action-rich digital video if the digital video includes a word that includes a gerund, such as “running,” in the metadata (e.g., the title).

Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a variety of natural language parsing (or processing) (“NLP”) algorithms to identify action-rich digital videos based on the metadata associated with the set of digital videos. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize NLP algorithms to determine that metadata associated with a digital video is describing and/or related to one or more actions. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize NLP algorithms to determine that metadata associated with a digital video is describing and/or related to one or more actions and identify such a digital video as an action-rich digital video.

As an example, FIG. 4 illustrates the digital video tagging system identifying action-rich digital videos from a set of digital videos. In particular, as shown in FIG. 4, the digital video tagging system 106 identifies action-rich digital videos in act 404 from the digital videos 402. For instance, as illustrated in the implementation of FIG. 4, the digital video tagging system 106 identifies the first digital video (e.g., the digital video titled “Bicycling in summer”) and the third digital video (e.g., the digital video titled “Pitching with your right arm”) from the digital videos 402 as action-rich digital videos in act 404 based on the metadata associated with those digital videos. Specifically, the identified action-rich digital videos in act 404 include metadata that includes one or more verbs and/or gerunds.

Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate tagged feature vectors from the digital videos that include metadata information. For instance, FIG. 4 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 generating tagged feature vectors in act 406 for the identified action-rich digital videos from act 404. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate feature vectors in act 406 for a set of frames from each of the action-rich videos from act 404 to generate the tagged feature vectors 408.

In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a neural network (e.g., a neural network for image classification) to generate feature vectors from one or more frames of the digital videos that include the metadata information. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can also generate one or more aggregated feature vectors and/or multiple aggregated feature vectors (for groups of similar frames and/or feature vectors) from each of the digital videos that include the metadata information. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate the feature vectors, the aggregated feature vectors, and/or the multiple aggregated feature vectors (for groups of similar frames and/or feature vectors) from each of the digital videos that include the metadata information in accordance with one or more embodiments described herein (e.g., as described in FIGS. 5-8).

Upon generating the feature vectors from the one or more frames of the digital videos that include the metadata information, the digital video tagging system 106 can tag the feature vectors to generate the tagged feature vectors. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize text from the metadata information associated with the digital videos to generate the tagged feature vectors. Indeed, as described in the figures below in greater detail, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a variety of methods to associate tags with feature vectors to generate tagged feature vectors.

Moreover, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate a variety of types of tags with a feature vector. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a tag to represent one or more attributes such as, but not limited to, actions, objects, scenes, and/or attributes portrayed within a digital video. In some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes NLP algorithms to categorize words (or text) from metadata information associated with a digital video into a tag type such as, but not limited to, action tags, object tags, scene tags, and/or attribute tags. Although the one or more embodiments herein describe tags as action tags, object tags, scene tags, and/or attribute tags, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize any category of attributes as a type of tag.

As mentioned above, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a variety of methods to associate tags with feature vectors to generate tagged feature vectors. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate the text from the metadata information as tags for the generated feature vectors (to create the tagged feature vectors). For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize words from the metadata information of a digital video as tags and assign (or associate) these tags to each of the feature vectors (and/or aggregated feature vectors) generated from that digital video. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize words from the metadata information of a digital video, assign a category to each of those words, and associate those words as tags to the feature vectors (or aggregated feature vectors) from that digital video to generate the tagged feature vectors.

Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can also associate specific words from the metadata information of a digital video with specific feature vectors generated from the digital video. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize information from the metadata such as text that is tied to (or corresponds to) a segment of the digital video (e.g., a keyword with an assigned digital video time stamp) to assign the text to the feature vectors generated from the digital video frame that corresponds to the segment of the digital video. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize metadata information from a digital video that associates descriptions, keywords, labels, and/or any other information with a specific segment of the digital video to generate tags for each individual feature vector from different frames (or digital video segments).

In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes clustering techniques when generating tagged feature vectors from a set of digital videos that include metadata information (e.g., user provided descriptions, keywords, and/or labels). For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize clustering techniques such as, but not limited to, K-Means clustering and/or recursive K-Means clustering to cluster the digital videos (or feature vectors) from the set of digital videos into clusters of a desirable size based on the similarity of the digital videos (or feature vectors). Indeed, clustering feature vectors can increase efficiencies in training and reduce overfitting when the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes the tagged feature vectors to generate (or predict) tags for an input digital video.

Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a voting scheme to reduce user labeling (or tagging) biases within the metadata information of the digital videos utilized to generate the tagged feature vectors. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can determine how similar metadata information (e.g., user provided labels, keywords, and/or tags) for similar digital videos and/or similar feature vectors (from the clusters of digital videos and/or clusters of feature vectors determined utilizing clustering techniques) to consolidate and/or weight the metadata information to reduce user labeling (or tagging) bias. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a voting scheme such as, but not limited to, a k-nearest neighbors (KNN) voting scheme and/or a diversity based voting scheme (Div-KNN).

In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize such clustering techniques and voting schemes to provide a relevance and/or confidence score to tags within a tagged feature vector. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can determine a cluster-sensitive hashing distance (C-Hashing distance) that represents the number of times a set of tags are assigned to a cluster of feature vectors and/or digital videos (from clusters created using the clustering techniques described above). Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate tagged feature vectors that are associated with one or more clusters of feature vectors, associated with relevance and/or confidence scores of tags within those clusters, and/or C-hashing distances that enable calculations such as the probability of a set of tags co-occurring within a cluster of feature vectors. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize such information (e.g., the C-hashing distances and/or the confidence scores) to accurately generate tags for an input digital image from the tagged feature vectors. For example, additional detail regarding utilizing clustering techniques and/or voting schemes to generate a set of tagged feature vectors (or training data for the digital video tagging system 106) is provided in, Lin et. al., U.S. Patent Pub. No. 2017/0236032 filed on Aug. 17, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Additionally, in some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes embedding learning when generating tagged feature vectors from a set of digital videos that include metadata information (e.g., user provided descriptions, keywords, and/or labels) to determine a relevance score for data from the metadata information. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate feature vectors for digital videos that include metadata information and also generate a word vector from the metadata information. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the generated word vector and calculated weights associated with the word vector to generate a soft topic feature vector. In particular, the soft topic feature vector can represent a summary of the keywords and/or other information from the metadata information associated with the digital video (e.g., one or more topics based from the tags identified from the metadata information). Moreover, the soft topic feature vector can be specific to a generated feature vector, aggregated feature vector, and/or a digital video frame.

Upon generating a feature vector and the soft topic feature vector, the digital video tagging system 106 can align, utilizing machine learning models such as a neural network, the feature vector and the soft topic feature vector into a common embedding space to compute a relevance score corresponding to each tag determined from the metadata information of the digital video. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can align the feature vector and soft topic feature vector (e.g., make them as close as possible to one another) by utilizing methods such as, but not limited to, cosine similarity loss. In addition, the digital video tagging system 106 can further utilize clustering techniques such as, but not limited to, K-means clustering, on the soft topics from the soft topic feature vector to generate hard topics to assign to the feature vector.

Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate soft topic feature vector for feature vectors from each digital video and align them to the respective feature vectors. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate hard topics for each feature vector from soft topic feature vectors. In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes the soft topic feature vectors, the embedding space between feature vectors and the soft topic feature vectors, and/or the hard topics in association with the feature vectors, aggregated feature vectors, and/or digital videos to generate the tagged feature vectors (and/or relevance scores for tags of the tagged feature vectors). Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the feature vectors, the soft topic feature vectors, the relevance scores for tags from the embedding space, and/or the hard topic assignments to generate tags for an input digital video (as described in greater detail in the figures below). Additional detail regarding utilizing soft topic feature vectors and embedding learning to generate a set of tagged feature vectors (or training data for the digital video tagging system 106) is provided in, Lin et. al., U.S. Patent Pub. No. 2018/0267997 filed on Sep. 20, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Upon generating the tagged feature vectors, the digital video tagging system 106 can store the tagged feature vectors in a tagged feature vector storage (e.g., tagged feature vector storage 108). Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can include digital videos, metadata information of the digital videos, feature vectors for the digital videos, and/or tags associated with the feature vectors within the tagged feature vector storage. Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can also include associations between digital video frames and the generated feature vectors, clustering information of the feature vectors, soft topic feature vectors of the feature vectors, embedding spaces of the feature vectors, and/or confidence (or relevance) scores for tags in association with the feature vectors.

Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can store the generated tagged feature vectors utilizing a query hash table. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate a query hash table that includes identifiers for each tagged feature vector (or tagged digital video). Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate the one or more tags associated with the tagged feature vectors within the query hash table (and/or an action-rich query hash table). Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can reference the query hash table when identifying tagged feature vectors that are similar to feature vectors generated from an input digital video (as described in greater detail in the figures below).

As an example, FIG. 4 illustrates that the digital video tagging system 106, after generating the tagged feature vectors in act 406, can store the tagged feature vectors as tagged feature vectors 408. Indeed, as shown in FIG. 4, the digital video tagging system 106 associates one or more generated feature vectors for each digital video (e.g., from the action-rich digital videos identified in act 404). Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 associates one or more tags (e.g., tags identified from the metadata information of the digital video 402) to the feature vectors in the tagged feature vectors 408. For instance, a first digital video (e.g., the digital video titled “Bicycling in summer”) in tagged feature vectors 408 includes one or more generated feature vectors and tags (e.g., “bicycling,” “riding,” “outdoor,” and “man”) from the corresponding metadata information provided in digital videos 402. Similarly, a second digital video (e.g., the digital video titled “Pitching with your right arm”) in tagged feature vectors 408 includes one or more generated feature vectors and tags (e.g., “baseball,” “throwing,” “pitching,” and “man”) from the corresponding metadata information provided in digital videos 402.

Although FIG. 4 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 generating tagged feature vectors from action-rich digital videos, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize any type of digital videos to generate tagged feature vectors. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate tagged feature vectors with any type of tag from metadata information associated with digital videos, regardless of whether the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes action-rich digital videos, other types of digital videos, and/or all types of digital videos. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate tagged feature vectors that include any combination of action tags, object tags, scene tags, attribute tags, and/or other types of tags. In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes separate sets of tagged feature vectors for each of and/or different combinations of tag types (e.g., a set of tagged feature vectors for action tags and a set of tagged feature vectors for object, scene, and attribute tags).

Furthermore, although FIG. 4 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 utilizing digital videos to generate the tagged feature vectors, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize any type of digital media content to generate the tagged feature vectors. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize digital images (with associated metadata information) to generate tagged feature vectors for the digital video tagging system 106. Also, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize any combination of digital media content items (e.g., digital videos and digital images) to generate the tagged feature vectors.

Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a set of tagged feature vectors to train one or more machine learning models to generate tags for input digital videos. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can input digital videos corresponding to the tagged feature vectors (without the tagged information) into a machine learning model to generate tags for the digital videos in accordance with one or more embodiments herein. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can compare the predicted (or generated) tags of the digital videos to the actual tagged feature vectors of those digital videos (e.g., utilizing a loss function) to configure and/or tune the machine learning model.

As mentioned above, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate tags for an input digital video utilizing the tagged feature vectors. For example, FIGS. 5A-5B illustrate an implementation in which the digital video tagging system 106 generates an aggregated feature vector from an input digital video and utilizes the aggregated feature vector to generate a set of tags for the input digital video. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract frames from an input digital video, generate feature vectors from the frames, and combine the feature vectors to generate an aggregated feature vector (e.g., aggregate across generated feature vectors). Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the aggregated feature vector to identify similar tagged feature vectors and generate a set of tags, for the input digital video, from the identified tagged feature vectors.

For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can receive a digital video 502 (e.g., an input digital video). In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can receive the digital video from a variety of sources. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can receive the digital video from, but not limited to, a client device 112 and/or a collection of digital videos (e.g., an online video sharing source). Indeed, the digital video 502 can include user provided information, such as metadata information, and/or include no additional information. For instance, FIG. 5A illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 receiving a digital video 502 (e.g., a digital video portraying a basketball game).

Furthermore, upon receiving (or identifying) a digital video, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract one or more frames from the digital video. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract any number of frames from the digital video to utilize in generating a set of tags for the digital video. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract all of the frames included in the digital video, can extract a number of frames based on time intervals, and/or can extract a number of frames based on other thresholds. For instance, FIG. 5A illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 extracting frames 504 a-504 n (e.g., Frame 1 504 a, Frame 2 504 b, and Frame N 504 n) from the digital video 502.

As an example, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract frames based on time intervals by extracting a frame at each configured time increment (e.g., every second, every three seconds, or every ten seconds). Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize other thresholds such as, but not limited to, a threshold number of frames. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract each frame at an interval that will result in the threshold number of frames (e.g., if the threshold number of frames is one hundred, the digital video tagging system 106 can divide the total number of frames of a digital video by one hundred to get the number of increments and extract a frame at each of those increments). In some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can automatically adjust the number of frames extracted from a digital video based on attributes of the digital video (e.g., the length of the digital video). For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can increase and/or decrease the time intervals and/or the threshold number of frames based on the length of the digital video.

Additionally, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes a neural network to generate one or more feature vectors from one or more frames of a digital video. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize an image classification neural network to generate feature vectors from frames of a digital video. In some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN) to generate feature vectors from the frames. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the same neural network utilized to generate the feature vectors from the training digital images (e.g., the neural network utilized to generate the feature vectors for the tagged feature vectors in FIG. 4) to generate feature vectors from frames of an input digital image. Furthermore, the neural network is trained to extract and/or generate feature vectors digital video frames.

In some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes a neural network to generate a feature vector for a frame by extracting features (e.g., visual characteristics and/or latent attributes) in different levels of abstractions. Indeed, the neural network, such as a CNN, can generate feature vectors for a frame by learning features and/or generating feature vectors for the features by utilizing neural network layers such as, but not limited to, one or more convolution layers, one or more activation layers (e.g., ReLU layers), one or more pooling layers, and/or one or more fully connected layers. Furthermore, although the disclosure herein describes the digital video tagging system 106 generating a feature vector for each digital video frame, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a neural network to generate multiple feature vectors from each digital video frame (e.g., multiple feature vectors for various features learned from a digital video frame). Moreover, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a neural network for feature ablation when generating feature vectors from digital video frames.

Additionally, in addition to generating feature vectors from the digital video frames, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate other information with the feature vectors. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate information with the generated feature vectors to provide an identity for the feature vectors. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate information such as, but not limited to, a digital frame identifier (e.g., a pointer that identifies which digital video frame the feature vector corresponds with), a digital video identifier (e.g., a pointer that identifies which digital video the feature vector corresponds with), and/or a time identifier (e.g., a time value that indicates at which time stamp from the digital video the feature vector corresponds with).

For instance, the embodiment of FIG. 5A illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 utilizing a neural network to generate feature vectors. In particular, as shown in FIG. 5A, the digital video tagging system 106 provides the frames 504 a-504 n (or digital video frames) to a neural network 506 to generate the feature vectors 508 a-508 n (e.g., feature vectors 508 a-508 n correspond to the frames 504 a-504 n). Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate other information with the feature vectors 508 a-508 n, as described above.

In addition, as mentioned above, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate an aggregated feature vector from feature vectors of a digital video. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can combine feature vectors corresponding to a digital video to generate an aggregated feature vector. For instance, the aggregated feature vector can be a holistic representation of multiple feature vectors. For example, the aggregated feature vector can represent features of multiple frames to characterize visual features that occur over multiple frames (e.g., characterize visual features such as actions that are portrayed over multiple frames).

Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a variety of methods to combine feature vectors corresponding to a digital video to generate an aggregated feature vector. In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes max pooling to combine feature vectors corresponding to a digital video (or digital video frames). In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize max pooling to generate a feature vector (e.g., the aggregated feature vector) by utilizing a max value from each data point (or each feature dimension) of each feature vector corresponding to the digital video as a final data point of the aggregated feature vector. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can align the feature vectors from the digital video to take a max value of each similar data point from amongst the generated feature vectors (e.g., a data point that is representative of the same type of feature) to generate the aggregated feature vector.

Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can also utilize a variety of other methods to combine the feature vectors corresponding to the digital video frames to generate an aggregated feature vector. For instance, in some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes averaging to combine the feature vectors corresponding to the digital video frames to generate the aggregated feature vector. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize other methods such as, but not limited to, attentive pooling, soft max pooling, weighted averaging, and/or normalization (e.g., L²-norm) to combine the feature vectors corresponding to the digital video frames to generate the aggregated feature vector.

As an example, FIG. 5A illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 generating an aggregated feature vector from feature vectors corresponding to a digital video. For instance, as shown in FIG. 5A, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes feature vectors 508 a-508 n to aggregate the feature vectors in act 510 to generate the aggregated feature vector 512. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize any, or any combination of, methods described above to aggregate the feature vectors in act 510. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate an aggregated feature vector (e.g., the aggregated feature vector 512) with a digital video (e.g., digital video 502), digital video frames corresponding to the digital video (e.g., frames 504 a-504 n), and/or feature vectors corresponding to the digital video (e.g., feature vectors 508 a-508 n). Moreover, although FIG. 5A illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 generating a single aggregated feature vector, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate multiple aggregated feature vectors for the digital video, digital video frames, and/or the feature vectors.

As mentioned above, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize an aggregated feature vector corresponding to a digital video to generate a set of tags for the digital video. For instance, the embodiment in FIG. 5B illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 utilizing an aggregated feature vector corresponding to a digital video (e.g., the aggregated feature vector 512 from FIG. 5A) to generate a set of tags for the digital video (e.g., the digital video 502 from FIG. 5A). In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can analyze an aggregated feature vector and tagged feature vectors from the tagged feature vector storage 108 to identify similar tagged feature vectors (e.g., similar to the aggregated feature vector) to generate the set of tags for the digital video.

For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can analyze an aggregated feature vector and tagged feature vectors from the tagged feature vector storage 108 (e.g., a hash table of tagged feature vectors) to identify similar tagged feature vectors. More specifically, the digital video tagging system 106 can compare the aggregated feature vector to each of the tagged feature vectors from the tagged feature vector storage 108 to identify similar tagged feature vectors. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 determines distance values between the aggregated feature vector and each of the tagged feature vectors to identify similar tagged feature vectors.

In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes a variety of methods to compare the aggregated feature vectors to each of the tagged feature vectors to identify the similar tagged feature vectors. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize methods (or algorithms) such as, but not limited to, k-nearest neighbor calculations, cosine similarity calculations, clustering techniques, and/or embedding spaces to compare the aggregated feature vectors to each of the tagged feature vectors to identify the similar tagged feature vectors. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize an k-nearest neighbor algorithm to determine distance values (e.g., a Euclidean distance) between the aggregated feature vector and each of the tagged feature vectors within a space (e.g., a Euclidean space). Then, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a “k” number of tagged feature vectors (e.g., a number selected and/or configured by a neural network, user of the digital video tagging system 106, and/or the digital video tagging system 106) based on the determined distance values. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can determine which tagged feature vectors are similar to the aggregated feature vector based on the distance value (e.g., a shorter distance value can indicate a stronger similarity between the feature vectors). In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a threshold distance value to select the tagged feature vectors (e.g., select the tagged feature vectors that have a distance value that meets a threshold distance value, set by a server administrator, the digital video tagging system 106, and/or a machine learning model, as the similar tagged feature vectors).

Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can also utilize cosine similarity to identify the similar tagged feature vectors. In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 determines a cosine similarity measurement as a distance value between the aggregated feature vector and each of the tagged feature vectors. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can determine an angle between the aggregated feature vector and a tagged feature vector on a vector space and utilize the angle (or a normalized value of the angle) as a distance value between the aggregated feature vector and the tagged feature vector. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can determine such an angle between the aggregated feature vector and each of the tagged feature vectors. Then, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize these distance values (e.g., the cosine similarity measurements) to identify tagged feature vectors that are similar to the aggregated feature vector (e.g., a lesser angle measurement can indicate a stronger similarity between the feature vectors).

In addition to identifying similar tagged feature vectors to the aggregated feature vector based on one or more methods described above, the digital video tagging system 106 can also determine a degree of similarity between the similar tagged feature vectors and the aggregated feature vector. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate use the distance value between a tagged feature vector and an aggregated feature vector (e.g., the distance value from a tagged feature vector and an aggregated feature vector determined by one or more methods described above) as the degree of similarity between the tagged feature vector and the aggregated feature vector. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize this degree of similarity between each tagged feature vector and the aggregated feature vector to select a number of tagged feature vectors to utilize as identified tagged feature vectors (e.g., select the top threshold number of tagged feature vectors based on the nearest distance values). In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 uses the degree of similarity between an aggregated feature vector and one or more tagged feature vectors to determine a confidence score indicating how confident the digital video tagging system 106 is that a tag should be associated with a given video frame or set of frames. In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 normalizes the distance values to a scale between 0 and 1 or 1 and 100 to determine confidences scores. The digital video tagging system 106 can then identify tagged feature vectors with confidence scores above a threshold score (e.g., 0.6 or 60) as similar tagged feature vectors.

As illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 5B, the identified tagged feature vectors 518 include feature vectors tagged with tags such as “basketball,” “court,” “shooting,” “jumping,” “court,” “gym,” “basketball,” and “playing.” Additionally, although the embodiment of FIG. 5B illustrates a specific number of tagged feature vectors in the identified tagged feature vectors 518, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify and utilize any number of tagged feature vectors to generate a set of tags for a digital video. Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate any information available, as described above, for the tagged feature vectors (e.g., relevance scores for tags, embedding spaces, digital video timestamps) from the tagged feature vector storage 108 with the identified tagged feature vectors.

Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the identified similar tagged feature vectors to generate a set of tags for a digital video. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the tags associated with tagged feature vectors (e.g., identified similar tagged feature vectors) to generate the set of tags for the digital video. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a variety of methods to generate a set of tags from a tagged feature vector for a digital video.

For example, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 aggregates tags associated with tagged feature vectors and associates those tags to a digital video (e.g., the digital video corresponding to the identified similar tagged feature vectors). In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify each tag associated with the tagged feature vectors (e.g., the similar tagged feature vectors) and generate a set of tags from those tags for the digital video (and/or propagate those tags to the digital video). Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 selects and aggregates tags from the tagged feature vectors, to generate the set of tags, based on relevance (or confidence) scores associated with the tags from the tagged feature vectors. For instance, in some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes (or selects) a threshold number of tags from each similar tagged feature vector based on a relevance score associated with the tags, as described above in FIG. 4, to generate a set of tags for the digital video. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can select the top threshold number of tags (e.g., the top five tags) from each tagged feature vector based on the relevance score associated with each tag associated with each tagged feature vector.

Furthermore, in some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can adjust the relevance scores associated with each tag based on a weight prior to selecting tags for the generated set of tags. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a weight that is based on similarities between the aggregated feature vector and a tagged feature vector prior to selecting tags from the tagged feature vector (e.g., based on the quantification of similarity such as a distance value). Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a weight that is based on other calculations such as, but not limited to, bigram reweighting.

Upon generating the set of tags from tagged feature vectors that are similar to an aggregated feature vector corresponding to a digital video, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate the set of tags with the digital video. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate the generated set of tags, with any other corresponding information such as confidence scores for the tags, to the entire digital video. In some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 associates tags from the generated set of tags to one or more segments of the digital video as described in greater detail in below figures.

As an example, the embodiment of FIG. 5B illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 associating a generated set of tags with a digital video. For instance, as shown in FIG. 5B, the digital video tagging system 106 generates a set of tags in act 520 from the identified tagged feature vectors 518. Furthermore, as illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 5B, the digital video tagging system 106 associates the set of tags from act 520 to the digital video 502 to generate a tagged digital video 522. Indeed, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 5B, the tagged digital video 522 includes object tags “man,” “basketball,” and “court,” action tags “playing,” “jumping,” and “shooting,” scene tags “court” and “gym,” and an attribute tag of “filmed.”

As mentioned above, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize multiple aggregated feature vectors, from groups of feature vectors corresponding to a digital video, to generate a set of tags for the digital video. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate feature vectors for frames of a digital video, group the feature vectors based on similarity and/or chronological order of the frames, and generate an aggregated feature vector for each group of feature vectors. Then, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify similar tagged feature vectors for each aggregated feature vector and utilize the tagged feature vectors to generate a set of tags. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize multiple aggregated feature vectors such that the aggregated feature vectors more accurately represent a characteristic and/or attribute from a digital video (e.g., an action). Furthermore, by utilizing multiple aggregated feature vectors, the digital video tagging system 106 is capable of delineating scenes and/or acts portrayed in a digital video to generate an accurate set of tags for each of those scenes or temporal segment of the digital video. For instance, FIGS. 6A-6B illustrate the digital video tagging system 106 utilizing multiple aggregated feature vectors, from groups of feature vectors corresponding to a digital video, to generate a set of tags for temporal segments of the digital video.

For example, as just mentioned, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract frames from a digital video and generate feature vectors for the frames utilizing a neural network. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract frames from the digital video and generate feature vectors for the frames as described above in FIGS. 5A-5B. As an example, the embodiment of FIG. 6A illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 extracting a set of frames from a digital video and generating feature vectors from the set of frames. In particular, the embodiment of FIG. 6A illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 extracting a set of frames 604 a-604 d (e.g., Frame 1 604 a, Frame 2 604 b, Frame 3 604 c, and Frame 4 604 d) from a digital video 602 (e.g., the digital video 602 portraying a basketball game). Furthermore, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 6A, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes a neural network 606 to generate the feature vectors 608 a, 608 b, 608 c, and 608 d (e.g., the feature vectors 608 a-608 d correspond with the set of frames 604 a-604 d). Although, the embodiment of FIG. 6A illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 extracting four frames from a digital video and generating four feature vectors from the frames, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract any number of frames from a digital video and/or can generate any number of feature vectors for each of the frames.

Upon generating feature vectors for a digital video, the digital video tagging system 106 can group the feature vectors into one or more groups. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can group feature vectors based on similarities between the feature vectors and/or chronological order of the frames. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can group feature vectors based on distance values between the feature vectors. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can group similar feature vectors corresponding to frames that have similar times stamps. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize one or more methods to measure and/or determine similarities between the generated feature vectors, as described above in FIGS. 5A-5B (e.g., utilize a k-nearest neighbor algorithm and/or a cosine similarity algorithm to determine distance values between the feature vectors). Then, the digital video tagging system 106 utilize the determined similarities (e.g., distance values) to group the feature vectors into one or more groups (or clusters). For instance, such groups of feature vectors can identify feature vectors that are similar and/or generally portray a similar act and/or instance within a digital video.

In some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can further base the groupings of feature vectors on time values. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can group the feature vectors, that are determined to be similar, together when they correspond to frames that are close in time (e.g., a determined threshold time range) and/or chronological in the digital video. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can group the feature vectors regardless of whether they are close in time and/or are chronological in the digital video. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 can group one or more frames of the digital video prior to generating feature vectors and utilize the group of frames to generate feature vectors and/or aggregated feature vectors.

As an example, FIG. 6A illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 grouping feature vectors based on similarities prior to generating aggregated feature vectors. For instance, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 6A, the digital video tagging system 106 groups the feature vectors in act 610 by determining similarities between the feature vectors 608 a-608 d to create feature vector group 612 and feature vector group 614. In one or more embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 associates other information with the feature vector groups such as information corresponding to each feature vector in that group (e.g., information as described in FIGS. 4 and 5A-5B).

Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can combine feature vectors from each group to generate an aggregated feature vector for each feature vector group. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize one or more methods described in FIGS. 5A-5B to generate an aggregated feature vector for each feature vector group based on feature vectors within the groups. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can also associate information corresponding to the feature vectors utilized to generate the aggregated feature vectors with the aggregated feature vectors as described above in FIGS. 4 and 5A-5B.

For instance, FIG. 6A illustrates an example of the digital video tagging system 106 generating aggregated feature vectors based on feature vectors from feature vector groups. In particular, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 6A, the digital video tagging system 106 aggregates feature vectors in act 616 by combining feature vectors from feature vector group 612 to generate the aggregated feature vector 620. Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, the digital video tagging system 106 can aggregate feature vectors in act 618 by combining feature vectors from feature vector group 614 to generate the aggregated feature vector 622.

Upon generating an aggregated feature vector for each feature vector group corresponding to a digital video, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the aggregated feature vectors to generate a set of tags for the digital video. For example, the embodiment of FIG. 6B illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 utilizing multiple aggregated feature vectors (e.g., the aggregated feature vector 620 and the aggregated feature vector 622 from FIG. 6A generated from feature vector groups) to generate a set of tags for a digital video (e.g., the digital video 602). In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can analyze each aggregated feature vector, generated from feature vector groups of a digital video, with tagged feature vectors from the tagged feature vector storage 108 to identify similar tagged feature vectors for each of the aggregated feature vectors. Then, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the tagged feature vectors to generate a set of tags for the digital video.

For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify similar tagged feature vectors, from the tagged feature vector storage 108, for each aggregated feature vector based on a comparison between each of the aggregated feature vectors and the tagged feature vectors from the tagged feature vector storage 108. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify the tagged feature vectors based on each of the aggregated feature vectors utilizing methods as described in FIGS. 5A-5B. Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can create separate groups of tagged feature vectors corresponding to each of the aggregated feature vectors that correspond to separate feature vector groups from the digital video.

Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize tagged feature vectors (or groups of tagged feature vectors) to generate one or more sets of tags for a digital video. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize methods described in FIGS. 5A-5B to identify tags from the tagged feature vectors and generate one or more sets of tags for each group of tagged feature vectors (e.g., each group of tagged feature vectors corresponding to a feature vector group generated for a digital video). Furthermore, in some embodiments, the digital video tagging system 106 associates (or propagates) the generated set of tags to the digital video as described in the above figures.

In addition, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate tags from one or more generated set of tags with segments of a digital video. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate tags with segments of a digital video based on each tag's corresponding feature vector groups and/or aggregated feature vectors information (e.g., information associated with the tags as described in FIGS. 4 and 5A-5B). For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can determine timestamp information (e.g., a timestamp corresponding to a segment of a digital video) associated with the frames, feature vectors, feature vector groups, and/or aggregated feature vectors corresponding to each tag. Then, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the timestamp information for each tag to associate the tag with the segment of the digital video associated with the timestamp information. Indeed, the digital video tagging system 106 can determine timestamp information for each tag in a generated set of tags and associate each tag with one or more segments of a digital video.

As an example, FIG. 6B illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 identifying groups of similar tagged feature vectors from multiple aggregated feature vectors and generating tags for a digital video from the identified groups of tagged feature vectors. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the aggregated feature vector 620 (e.g., the aggregated feature vector generated in FIG. 6A) to identify similar tagged feature vectors in act 624 (from tagged feature vector storage 108) and to create an identified tagged feature vector group 630. Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the aggregated feature vector 622 (e.g., the aggregated feature vector generated in FIG. 6B) to identify similar tagged feature vectors in act 626 (from tagged feature vector storage 108) and to create an identified tagged feature vector group 632. Then, the digital video tagging system 106 can then generate a set of tags in act 634 from the identified tagged feature vector group 630 and can generate a set of tags in act 636 from the identified tagged feature vector group 632 to generate the tagged digital video 638 (e.g., a tagged version of the digital video 602).

Additionally, as shown in FIG. 6B, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate tags with the tagged digital video 638 (e.g., tagged digital video 640 includes tags “jumping,” “basketball,” and “running”). Moreover, as illustrated in FIG. 6B, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate tags with segments of the tagged digital video 638 (e.g., tagged digital video 642 includes a tag “running” at one segment and a tag “jumping” at another segment of the tagged digital video 642). In addition, although FIG. 6B illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 utilizing two aggregated feature vectors, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize any number of aggregated feature vectors to generate a set of tags for a digital video.

Acts and/or elements 502-522 from FIGS. 5A-5B, acts and/or elements 602-642 from FIGS. 6A-6B, and/or the algorithms presented above in relation to acts and/or elements from FIGS. 5A, 5B, 6A, and 6B can comprise the corresponding structure for performing a step for generating an aggregated feature vector from the feature vectors.

As mentioned above, the digital video tagging system 106 can also generate a set of tags for a digital video by identifying similar tagged feature vectors based on feature vectors from individual frames of the digital video. For instance, FIG. 7 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 generating a set of tags for a digital video based on feature vectors from individual frames of the digital video. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract a set of frames and generate feature vectors for set of frames of a digital video utilizing methods described in the figures above. Then, for each generated feature vector from the set of frames, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify similar tagged feature vectors (utilizing methods described above). Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify tags from those tagged feature vectors to generate a set of tags for the digital video in accordance with one or more embodiments described above.

As an example, FIG. 7 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 generating a set of tags for a digital video by identifying similar tagged feature vectors based on feature vectors from individual frames of the digital video. For instance, as shown in FIG. 7, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract a set of frames 704 a-704 n (e.g., Frame 1 704 a, Frame 2 704 b, and through Frame N 704 n) from a digital video 702. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes a neural network 706 with the set of frames 704 a-704 n to generate feature vectors 708 a, 708 b, and through 708 n (e.g., the feature vectors 708 a-708 n correspond with the set of frames 704 a-704 n). Then, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 7, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes tagged feature vector storage 108 to identify similar tagged feature vectors in acts 710 a, 710 b, and through 710 n from the feature vectors 708 a-708 n to create identified tagged feature vectors 714. As shown in the embodiment of FIG. 7, the identified tagged feature vectors 714 include feature vectors with tags such as “basket,” throwing,” “ball,” “running,” “basketball,” and “court.” Furthermore, as illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 7, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes the identified tagged feature vectors to generate a set of tags in act 716 to create the tagged digital video 718 (e.g., the digital video 702 with tags “jumping,” “basketball,” and “running.”

Additionally, as mentioned above, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate a set of tags for one or more frames of a digital video. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can generate a set of tags for one or more frames of a digital video by identifying similar tagged feature vectors from each feature vector generated from individual frames of a digital video. For instance, the embodiment of FIG. 8 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 generating a set of tags for one or more frames of a digital video. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract a set of frames and generate feature vectors for set of frames of a digital video utilizing methods described in the figures above. Then, for each generated feature vector from the set of frames, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify similar tagged feature vectors (utilizing methods described above). Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can identify tags from those tagged feature vectors to generate (and/or to assign) a set of tags for each frame from the set of frames corresponding to the digital video in accordance with one or more embodiments described above.

As an example, the embodiment of FIG. 8 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 generating a set of tags for one or more frames of a digital video. For instance, as shown in FIG. 8, the digital video tagging system 106 can extract a set of frames 804 a-804 n (e.g., Frame 1 804 a, Frame 2 804 b, and through Frame N 804 n) from a digital video 802. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize a neural network 806 with the set of frames 804 a-804 n to generate feature vectors 808 a, 808 b, and through 808 n (e.g., the feature vectors 808 a-808 n correspond with the set of frames 804 a-804 n). Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize tagged feature vector storage 108 to identify similar tagged feature vectors in acts 810 a, 810 b, and through 810 n from the feature vectors 808 a-808 n to create identified tagged feature vectors for Frame 1 814 a, identified tagged feature vectors for Frame 2 814 b, and identified tagged feature vectors for Frame N 814 n.

Furthermore, as illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 8, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes the identified tagged feature vectors for Frame 1 814 a, identified tagged feature vectors for Frame 2 814 b, and identified tagged feature vectors for Frame N 814 n to generate a set of tags for each frame in act 816 to create the tagged digital video 818 (e.g., the digital video 802 with a tag “running” in one segment and a tag “jumping” in another segment of the tagged digital video 818). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, the digital video tagging system 106 can associate tags with each frame in the tagged digital video 818 (e.g., Frame 1 includes the tags “running” and “basket,” Frame 2 includes the tags “throwing” and “ball,” and Frame N includes the tags “hoop” and “jumping”).

Furthermore, as mentioned above, the digital video tagging system 106 can provide additional functionalities in association with tagged digital videos. For example, FIG. 9 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 enabling searching capabilities for tagged digital videos. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize tags associated with one or more digital videos to provide digital videos as search results in response to a search query. For instance, the digital video tagging system 106 can receive a search query, identify tags similar to the search query, and identify digital videos based on the identified tags.

As an example, FIG. 9 illustrates a user interface in which the digital video tagging system 106 enables searching for tagged digital videos based on generated tags. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the digital video tagging system 106 receives a search query 902 (e.g., the term “playing”). Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize the search query 902 to identify tags such as the tag “playing.” Then, the digital video tagging system 106 utilizes the identified tag of “playing” to identify a tagged digital video 904 (e.g., a digital video of a basketball game), tagged digital video 906 (e.g., a digital video of a baseball game), and tagged digital video 908 (e.g., a digital video of a person playing a video game). Indeed, the tagged digital videos 904-908 include the tag of “playing.”

Moreover, the digital video tagging system 106 can provide other functionalities based on tagged digital videos such as organizational functionalities, tag recommendation functionalities, and reverse search for similar digital videos based on receiving a digital video as a search query. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize one or more tags associated with tagged digital videos to organize the digital videos in a variety of categories. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can provide tag recommendations to a user when a user uploads a digital video to a digital video sharing and/or hosting service by generating tags for the digital video (in accordance with one or more embodiments) during and/or after upload of the digital video. Furthermore, the digital video tagging system 106 can receive a digital video as a search query, generate tags for the digital video, and provide other tagged digital videos based on the generated tags as search results.

In addition, as mentioned above, the digital video tagging system 106 can indicate specific tags at one or more segments of a digital video (e.g., at a temporal location of the digital video). For instance, FIG. 10 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 indicating tags within a digital video player for a tagged digital video. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can utilize tags associated with frames and/or segments of a tagged digital video (e.g., generated and/or associated in accordance with one or more embodiments herein) to display the tags in one or more segments (or temporal locations) of the tagged digital video.

As an example, FIG. 10 illustrates the digital video tagging system 106 indicating tags within a digital video for a tagged digital video. For instance, as shown in FIG. 10, the digital video tagging system 106 causes a first timeline 1004 to display action tag indicators 1006, 1008, and 1010 for a tagged digital video 1002 and object tag indicators 1022, 1024, 1026. For example, the digital video tagging system 106 can receive a query to identify segments or portions of a video involving an action (e.g., shooting) that include a particular object (e.g., basketball hoop). In response, as shown in FIG. 10, the digital video tagging system 106 can cause a digital video player to display tags associated with the action and the object. In particular, the digital video tagging system 106 can present the first timeline 1004 and a second timeline 1020. The digital video tagging system 106 can then place action tag indicators 1006, 1008, 1010 at locations along the first timeline 1004 corresponding to frames or segments of the video including the action (e.g., shooting 1014). Similarly, the digital video tagging system 106 can then place object tag indicators 1022, 1024, 1026 at locations along the second timeline 1020 corresponding to frames or segments of the video including the object (e.g., basketball hoop 1028). Optionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can further surface or display the confidence values with the tag indicators to allow a user to see how sure the digital video tagging system 106 is that a temporal segment is associated with a given tag.

As illustrated in FIG. 10, the digital video tagging system 106 can allow a user to scrub through a video to segments of the video including a target action/object. In particular, the digital video tagging system can provide user interface of FIG. 10, which as the timeline and tag indicators. Thus, the digital video tagging system allows a user to scrub through the video using the tag indicators. Otherwise, the digital video tagging system can receive a search term (e.g., an action) from a user. In response, the digital video tagging system can identify a segment of the video corresponding to the search term and advance the video to the identified segment. Additionally, the digital video tagging system 106 can display a tag associated with a tag indicator upon receiving a user interaction 1012, such as, but not limited to, a mouse over action (e.g., the digital video tagging system 106 can display the shooting 1014 upon receiving a user interaction 1012).

Turning now to FIG. 11, additional detail will be provided regarding components and capabilities of one embodiment of the digital video tagging system. In particular, FIG. 11 illustrates an embodiment of an example digital video tagging system 106 executed by a computing device 1100 (e.g., a server and/or client device). As shown by the embodiment in FIG. 11, the computing device 1100 includes or hosts the digital visual media system 104 and the digital video tagging system 106.

Additionally, the feature vector generator 1104 can include one or more machine learning models (e.g., a neural network) to generate feature vectors for the digital video tagging system 106.

Additionally, as illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 11, the digital video tagging system 106 can include an aggregated feature vector generator 1106. For instance, the aggregated feature vector generator 1106 can combine feature vectors to generate an aggregated feature vector. In particular, the aggregated feature vector generator 1106 can combine feature vectors utilizing methods such as, but not limited to, max pooling to generate an aggregated feature vector as described in one or more figures above, such as, but not limited to FIGS. 5A-5B, 6A-6B, 7, and 8. Additionally, the aggregated feature vector generator 1106 can include one or more machine learning models (e.g., a neural network) to generate aggregated feature vectors for the digital video tagging system 106.

Moreover, as shown by the embodiment in FIG. 11, the digital video tagging system 106 can include a tag generator 1108. For example, the tag generator 1108 can generate tags for a digital video based on feature vectors of the digital video and tagged feature vectors. In particular, the tag generator 1108 can compare feature vectors of a digital video with tagged feature vectors to identify similarities between the feature vectors of the digital video and the tagged feature vectors as described in one or more figures above, such as, but not limited to FIGS. 4, 5A-5B, 6A-6B, 7, and 8. Furthermore, the tag generator 1108 can utilize identified similar tagged feature vectors to identify tags and propagate the identified tags to the digital video as described in one or more figures above, such as, but not limited to FIGS. 4, 5A-5B, 6A-6B, 7, and 8. Additionally, the tag generator 1108 can include one or more machine learning models (e.g., a neural network) to identify similar tagged feature vectors and/or to generate tags for a digital video for the digital video tagging system 106.

In addition, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 11, the digital video tagging system 106 can include a tagged digital video manager 1110. For instance, the tagged digital video manager 1110 can enable functionalities for digital videos based on tags associated with the digital videos as described in one or more figures above, such as, but not limited to FIGS. 9 and 10.

Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the digital video tagging system 106 can include the storage manager 1112. The storage manager 1112 can maintain data to perform the one or more functions of the digital video tagging system 106. As illustrated, the storage manager 1112 can include digital video data 1114 (e.g., digital videos utilized for at least training a neural network to identify tags and/or generating one or more tagged feature vectors), tagged feature vector data 1116 (e.g., tagged feature vectors, such as tagged feature vectors in the tagged feature vector storage 108, utilized for at least tagging one or more digital videos and/or training a neural network to tag one or more digital videos), and tag data 1118 (e.g., tag data that is generated for digital videos by the digital video tagging system 106 and utilized for at least tagging digital videos and/or enabling functionalities for digital videos).

Each of the components 1102-1118 of the computing device 1100 (e.g., the computing device 1100 implementing the digital video tagging system 106), as shown in FIG. 11, may be in communication with one another using any suitable communication technologies. It will be recognized that although components 1102-1118 of the computing device 1100 are shown to be separate in FIG. 11, any of components 1102-1118 may be combined into fewer components, such as into a single facility or module, divided into more components, or configured into different components as may serve a particular embodiment.

The components 1102-1118 of the computing device 1100 can comprise software, hardware, or both. For example, the components 1102-1118 can comprise one or more instructions stored on a computer-readable storage medium and executable by processors of one or more computing devices. When executed by the one or more processors, the computer-executable instructions of the digital video tagging system 106 (e.g., via the computing device 1100) can cause a client device and/or a server device to perform the methods described herein. Alternatively, the components 1102-1118 and their corresponding elements can comprise hardware, such as a special purpose processing device to perform a certain function or group of functions. Additionally, the components 1102-1118 can comprise a combination of computer-executable instructions and hardware.

Furthermore, the components 1102-1118 of the digital video tagging system 106 may, for example, be implemented as one or more operating systems, as one or more stand-alone applications, as one or more modules of an application, as one or more plug-ins, as one or more library functions or functions that may be called by other applications, and/or as a cloud-computing model.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may comprise or utilize a special purpose or general-purpose computer including computer hardware, such as, for example, one or more processors and system memory, as discussed in greater detail below. Embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure also include physical and other computer-readable media for carrying or storing computer-executable instructions and/or data structures. In particular, one or more of the processes described herein may be implemented at least in part as instructions embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by one or more computing devices (e.g., any of the media content access devices described herein). In general, a processor (e.g., a microprocessor) receives instructions, from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, (e.g., memory), and executes those instructions, thereby performing one or more processes, including one or more of the processes described herein.

Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer system. Computer-readable media that store computer-executable instructions are non-transitory computer-readable storage media (devices). Computer-readable media that carry computer-executable instructions are transmission media. Thus, by way of example, and not limitation, embodiments of the disclosure can comprise at least two distinctly different kinds of computer-readable media: non-transitory computer-readable storage media (devices) and transmission media.

Non-transitory computer-readable storage media (devices) includes RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM, solid state drives (“SSDs”) (e.g., based on RAM), Flash memory, phase-change memory (“PCM”), other types of memory, other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store desired program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures and which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer.

A “network” is defined as one or more data links that enable the transport of electronic data between computer systems and/or modules and/or other electronic devices. When information is transferred or provided over a network or another communications connection (either hardwired, wireless, or a combination of hardwired or wireless) to a computer, the computer properly views the connection as a transmission medium.

Transmissions media can include a network and/or data links which can be used to carry desired program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures and which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer. Combinations of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media.

Further, upon reaching various computer system components, program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures can be transferred automatically from transmission media to non-transitory computer-readable storage media (devices) (or vice versa). For example, computer-executable instructions or data structures received over a network or data link can be buffered in RAM within a network interface module (e.g., a “NIC”), and then eventually transferred to computer system RAM and/or to less volatile computer storage media (devices) at a computer system. Thus, it should be understood that non-transitory computer-readable storage media (devices) can be included in computer system components that also (or even primarily) utilize transmission media.

Computer-executable instructions comprise, for example, instructions and data which, when executed by a processor, cause a general-purpose computer, special purpose computer, or special purpose processing device to perform a certain function or group of functions. In some embodiments, computer-executable instructions are executed by a general-purpose computer to turn the general-purpose computer into a special purpose computer implementing elements of the disclosure. The computer-executable instructions may be, for example, binaries, intermediate format instructions such as assembly language, or even source code. Although the subject matter has been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that the subject matter defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the described features or acts described above. Rather, the described features and acts are disclosed as example forms of implementing the claims.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the disclosure may be practiced in network computing environments with many types of computer system configurations, including, personal computers, desktop computers, laptop computers, message processors, hand-held devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, mobile telephones, PDAs, tablets, pagers, routers, switches, and the like. The disclosure may also be practiced in distributed system environments where local and remote computer systems, which are linked (either by hardwired data links, wireless data links, or by a combination of hardwired and wireless data links) through a network, both perform tasks. In a distributed system environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.

Embodiments of the present disclosure can also be implemented in cloud computing environments. As used herein, the term “cloud computing” refers to a model for enabling on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. For example, cloud computing can be employed in the marketplace to offer ubiquitous and convenient on-demand access to the shared pool of configurable computing resources. The shared pool of configurable computing resources can be rapidly provisioned via virtualization and released with low management effort or service provider interaction, and then scaled accordingly.

A cloud-computing model can be composed of various characteristics such as, for example, on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, measured service, and so forth. A cloud-computing model can also expose various service models, such as, for example, Software as a Service (“SaaS”), Platform as a Service (“PaaS”), and Infrastructure as a Service (“IaaS”). A cloud-computing model can also be deployed using different deployment models such as private cloud, community cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud, and so forth. In addition, as used herein, the term “cloud-computing environment” refers to an environment in which cloud computing is employed.
